tbh i genuinely have no interest in any of the new social media platforms. i dont use twitter anymore, i dont use DA or insta or tiktok. the past couple years have made it abundantly clear that regular people fucking hate artists with a scary passion. capitalists are desperate to find new and exciting ways to devalue us as people while in the same breath exploit our work. i’ve had enough. i don’t care that twitter is dying. i don’t care about whatever new bullshit is trying to replace it. we already know these platforms, especially the newer ones, only exist to sell our data and feed everything into AIs now. i’m so deeply saddened by what the internet is now and how bleak the future is. all the artist friends i’m in regular contact with are miserable and feeling more hopeless by the day, and it sucks. it sucks so fucking much, and there’s nothing we can do about it besides keep taking the abuse and pretending it’s fine and normal. i dont want to anymore. what’s even the point of posting art anymore. i dunno man. i’m just real sad that a handful of pathetic billionaire boys can destroy everything on a whim.

[proshippers-against-censorship]

i'm just gonna ramble in your asks abt my ideal website real quick

i consider myself to be an anti, and i personally would LOVE to just have a separate little forum website i could post on. i would love to never have to see shit i didn't sign up for in my little tags, i would love to post my little art pieces and talk to other people about my things and not have to check every single person who follows me or regularly interacts with my blog. i would love to never find loli porn on my "friend's" page and never be able to look at them the same. i would love to just. have a vetted, moderated, separate corner of the internet i could use instead of major social media platforms.

but that really doesn't exist anymore. i've tried to find forums or even discord servers (i really hate discord tbh, but to have a community like this? i'd cave) and there genuinely isn't anything. i've looked with such specific search terms that google made me complete a captcha because of suspicious activity from my PC. it doesn't exist. there is no curated space specifically for antis on the modern internet.

people say "oh, if you don't like XYZ just go somewhere else," but that isn't a real solution because that somewhere else isn't a real place. i WANT to go somewhere else. if i didn't have to in order to have any kind of a community at all, i would not be on tumblr.

i want old internet forum sites. i want the times when people just posted on different sites for different ships. i want to have to actively search out content i don't like instead of having to navigate around it. also? tumblr's tag-blocking system? sucks. i scroll through a tag for one of the characters i like who i happen to hc as ace, so i blocked all their ship tags. problem is this character gets shipped with anyone with a pulse. 99% of it is "this post contains filtered tags" instead of just.. hiding the post altogether. the other 1% is people who didn't tag their shit. it's borderline unusable sometimes. i just wanna see things i like and not see things i don't man is that too much to ask for

No that's completely fair.

There's some stuff I've seen on here that personally I get super icked over. And there's some stuff on here that I just straight up don't want to see. And it sucks that Tumblr would rather give you a message and the world's most enticing button instead of, yknow, take it away entirely. I endorse curating your own experience...I wish Tumblr made it easier to do that.

What you could do, though, is use a free builder like wix or whatever, create a forum. You can even run them for free on some hosts. It would likely be a slow, annoying process to build, but I do believe that if you have the willingness to create something, it will somehow end up there. Give it a stab, mayhaps. Set rules, invite likeminded folk. Attach it to a blog run on the same host, even, to post your own thoughts and creations on.

Create your safespace. You're almost always entitled to unless creating your space involves destroying others. And creating your own forum and blog is the best way to create that space while not stepping on anyone's toes.

God same about Jensen!

He clearly had some insight into Dean that came out intermittently I just thought it was Instincts he had because he'd internalised Dean so much but didn't actually understand what he was saying, stuck in ol' "oh haha Dean is a stupid repressed child who only likes guns" mindset

Turns out WE'RE the fools and Jensen's been playing us ALL

when do you think he took up plans to take over SPN himself? I honestly think it's when they decided to end SPN at S15 and talks about how they should end the story were going on and they had to send him to KRIPKE of all people

Yeah its wild. I would love for him (with Misha's help) to write a tell all book one day.

I feel like jackles has been a far better actor than we all gave him credit for. He has always been very switched on to fandom, he knew about the warring sides, the hate and the bullshit, and I reckon he was being told for years by his bosses to always keep all sides of fandom happy and to play his damn role at all times (ironically just like how Chuck ordered Dean to play his role - life imitates art too often in this fucking show its almost scary). Hence why he's insights into Dean often came across contradictory and odd. Sometimes he had beautiful accurate insights which make total sense, and other times (usually in j2 panels) he'd regress back to the "haha dean just likes guns and girls like a macho man should".

We will never truly know what went on behind the scenes following the moment j2m announced s15 was the end (unless jackles writes that book) so its hard to truly speculate when jackles decided to take things into his own hands, but I also believe it was around about the time they planned the finale and everyone was kissing jarpiss's asshole and jackles was left in the cold to stare down a shitty death scene he didnt agree with. Going to kripke was prob the final straw for him.

He was gaslit into thinking that ending was okay, and whenever he tried to question it he was told to sit down shut up and do what he was told, all the while watching his manchild tantrum throwing drama queen of a costar get his dick sucked by the entire production team for coughing a few times and puffing out his chest and singing the praises of a finale that pushed the spotlight firmly on him and his cop propaganda show.

So yeah, jackles was done dirty, and so he became That Bitch and started making plans. He had the production company set up only days after the finale aired, turned off his social media and refused to be involved in any spn finale celebratory CW PR (absolute King Shit)

I think he started making calls before they even finished filming. Dean wasnt even cold on the ground before The Winchesters had been dreamed up as a way to bring him back. Jackles rare few post finale SM posts all alluded to Dean returning again. He knew what he was doing.

At the same time he was ghosting the manchild, and planning to move his family to Colorado to get away from him. After SPN finally wrapped in mid 2020, him and Jarpiss went their separate ways. They barely spoke after that. Jackles was setting in motion all his plans to fix everything that he considered a personal afront to him (because he is absolutely deranged and literally possessed by the ghost of Dean Winchester) and those plans certainly involve fixing the ending somehow - in a way that isnt obvious no doubt, because he still has to be careful and at least pretend like he respects the ending and his egotistical douchebag of a costar (though he hasn't been doing a very good job of either tbh!)

Thats all my speculation anyway. Holding out for that tell all book jackles!

Hey guys! Uh I felt like I should say something about the fandom

// mentions of self harm, suicidal ideation

This is gonna be long, sorry!

Heyyyy, sorry I've been so uhhh hardly active online...I've been trying to come back to posting online and stuff just idk it's been a pretty rough several months and every time I think my motivation is back enough it disappears. I'm currently tryna work things out in therapy as a result of how bad certain things have gotten in the last few months, I'm not gonna say what it was but based on my writing with a lot of focus on self harm and suicidal ideation, you can probably guess.

At this point I think I'm about to just not even bother logging into twitter anymore and pretty much use this and ao3 and pinterest and stuff (maybe occasionally instagram idk tho that place kinda sucks). It would probably help me be more active on here tbh since yall seem not really do a lot of the things that make my mh worst XD

Alright, anyway I'm currently editing a few different fics I've been working on for a while, several of them decided to be in the 50-100 page on google docs range whether I liked it or not, so that and my current disasterous working situation is why it's taking a ridiculous amount of time. If I had a functional posting schedule, ig I wouldn't be an ao3 user. I was gonna include a statement in one of them about this, but I decided this needed to be said here first

So I don't think I plan on leaving the dsmp fandom no matter what happens at this point. The average length of interest in a fandom is like what 10 years? Idk I heard that from some yt. If so, I'm approaching the halfway mark with the dsmp, which is insane to think about, and I don't plan on jumping off that train any time soon. The stories were intriguing and the cc's and their characters and music and stuff have gotten me through the lowest points of my life, so it's very hard to forget that.

Even if the cc's turn out to not be great, I still have their characters, and I'm not willing to give up this coping mechanism just yet because I feel like not having one when everything else in my life seems to be going to shit wouldn't be that great

I see it like if you liked a character in a movie and the actor that played them turned out to be bad, would you still like the character? I would.

cc!Wilbur turned out to be a shitty person. His song about being a wanker and a fucking waste of time was in fact spot on. Fuck that guy. I'm done with his stuff but I'm still gonna write his character

There are a lot of things erupting on twitter right now, I'm not sure what's going on and I do Not have the mental fortitude to find out at this point. I can't say I believe everything because after the Dream situation last fall...I'm just holding off my judgement for now. I'll probably go looking once the dust starts to settle but right now it's all a huge mess and everything is up in the air

I can't guarantee anything at this point, but I will most likely continue to write c! stagedduo and most likely draw and crochet them. I do not have another coping mechanism and the brainrot over the story of the dsmp will likely not go away

Uhhh really sorry I keep falling off the face of the earth, but I think I'm back now. I don't know what the future holds, but this is probably gonna become about the only social media i use now and I think i might just make an alt account or something for my other art so i can stop posting on instagram all together hopefully. Everytime i open that app it makes me more sad and then I never get around to opening this

Due to the severity of what I mentioned earlier, I'm just going to say that I'm not feeling like *that* right now, I feel like I'm actually very gradually starting to get out of the not great mental state I've been in for basically since high school, but I'm not gonna let twitter and the potential of social media harassment fuck that up, so from now on y'all are gonna be like 90% of my social media interactions most likely and I'm not gonna let whatever the hell twitter does in the next few weeks take my favorite characters from me.

I love c!Dream and c!Punz. Their dynamic is excellent be it drunz or stageduo. I'm gonna keep writing them.

They look like the cc's but they still very much exist separately of them (irl Dream isn't getting tortured by irl Quackity and Sam or anything lol).

So whatever ends up happening, imma be here most likely. So for those of you who'd like to join me, hey! For those of you who can't take it anymore, I understand.

Oh and for those of you who've been drawing/writing/whatever any cc's who are currently accused or exposed or anything, I encourage you not to delete or destroy your work, you worked hard on it! If you don't wanna look at it rn, put it away for now. If it's character based especially! Don't let the actions of others or the vitriol of twitter take away your favorite characters!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO THE QUEEN MEGAN THEE STALLION!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I didn't know it was her birthday month at all, but it's very fitting since this month I finally started getting into her music! Recently Ive been loving taking a photo reference of an artist and transforming it into something magical and creative in my own style (like my last painting of Dua Lipa), and especially playing around with lighting! I can't wait to do more of these, tbh 💚💚

๑

Um, yeah, also.... I have had a sort of artistic revelation last week and I have realized I'm not really being myself on social media, and it's sucking the life out of me :") What I mean by this primarily is I try so hard to be family friendly when in reality anyone who knows me knows that I am extremely far from it in terms of my personality and my language 😅 And, well, I'm done acting like that online because it's not authentic to me AT ALL and one of my most important things is to be transparent and honest with people who engage with my art 100% and starting today, I am doing just that. I will still be posting warnings on NSFW art or trigger warnings for art that needs it, but other than that, I will NOT be censoring myself for anyone. With that being said, if you followed me because I was family friendly, didn't use profanity, etc, then I'm sorry and I don't blame you at all for unfollowing. But I NEED to be my true, authentic self in order to progress as an artist. It's also gonna take me a while to get used to being myself on here so it may not happen right away, but gradually I'll start to come out of my shell. Thank y'all for understanding!!! Love you guys and I will hopefully be pushing more artwork out soon!! 🫶

[violet-amet]

some thinking. been feeling down lately tbh.

given how things are around some corners on tumblr, and how corrupted the internet has gotten because of money, i am a bit scared ill lose a lot of my memories and stuff i made on this site. its always been the place i go to for a lot of stuff. hm. i dont want to be negative and say its actually dying now and all that because of talks of tumblr and ai and the likes. it sucks tbh. but i cant control this anyway. i just want to find a website where i can express myself like i usually do, and see so much art of all sorts that i could only find on tumblr. this website was so good and so much fun! its the only place where i could find specific humor, memes, and fandom related stuff, as well as seeing so many creative people doing their thing. ill use it still, until it completely dies, because im comfortable with it. ill make some other social medias too just in case, but i want to find a good place that i can post a lot of my writings, esp my smut fics. i dont want to be censored gdi. ah well, ill see what i can do.

[maybuds]

I also think it's interesting to see how movies and music are also not even marketed as art/stories anymore like the barbie phenomenon is such a clear example, the whole scheme was it's a Barbie movie! look at the aesthetic! it's all PINK! isn't it fun that it comes out the same day as that war movie that's all red and black ! boo explosions ahah !! like ??? where's the plot of the movie?? isn't anyone going to tell us that? and the answer is no bc it's irrelevant lol, ppl go watch it bc they can dress up and take pictures to post on Instagram, they go see the new mcu movie bc they "have to" finish the trilogy so they can talk about it on Twitter, it doesn't matter if all we have is reboots bc stories don't matter anymore.

it's also happening with concerts like people don't go to listen to the music (bc the music isn't even that great tbh ! it's just what's popular on tiktok!) but bc it's an ~experience~ and again an opportunity to dress up and post pictures!! even for the singer what they're wearing matters more than what they're singing! and I get that live music/concerts have always been an experience per se BUT it had never been this disconnected by the music itself imo

also I'd urge to recognize who is benefiting from these shifts bc what happens when going to a concert or watching a movie becomes something that requires a specific aesthetic that then needs to receive social media approval?? exactly, you need TO BUY STUFF! every time ! and who sells you the stuff ? the companies that have partnered with the company that made the movie of course! the popstar with their specific brand ! the influencers paid to go to that concert and that movie premiere! it's literally a Neverending cycle of money that you keep giving to the same people and a Neverending production of stuff that will be thrown away almost instantly bc it's made to become irrelevant almost instantly!

oh my godddd this is all so true, you said it all anon. and it’s depressing for the ones who want to produce and create art because this is what their hard work comes to, as consumables or just products to sell, and they end up just looking at it as another job instead of something they were passionate about in the first place. it’s a struggle with, like, reconciling artistic expression/meaning-making and earning an income, and you can’t blame them for choosing the latter at some point. it sucks, everything sucks, it’s unsustainable and it’s such a depressing scene to look at, especially when all you wanted was to create something meaningful. and it sucks that the way people now engage with this stuff on social media also inevitably perpetuates the shittiness of it for artists and creators everywhere, it just becomes a cycle and just the big studios and brands are benefiting from it

[cutesuki--bakugou]

Getting back into things I used to be so invested in, like posting my work on social media and the communities I was active in, has been way more difficult than I ever thought it would be.

I miss it a lot, though. All of it.

Sharing my work with others and getting to enjoy theirs. Meeting new people. The conversations, both good and bad. Being involved in projects, like Zines and other collabs. The Discord servers, with all the fun little things like streaming, VCs and watching things together. The creativity and inspiration that comes with being involved in fandom communities. Bringing other peoples visions to life through things like commissions and requests.

A lot of my difficulties the past two years have come from things like my mental and physical health. I've been in hospitals (illnesses/injuries, surgeries and to protect myself from myself). Lost two jobs and my independence. Had to shut down my Etsy store and lost my entire small business (Damn you Crunchyroll, and your stupid IP Bots u_u). I've had a never ending art block and, all in all, I feel like I've lost everything that I was.

My biggest regret is losing all the friends that I had made. I can't blame my health for all of that, though. I made a stupid choice to follow the wrong person and that was the moment I lost a huge chunk of the community and people I had grown so fond of. By now, I've lost literally everyone I met through tumblr, twitter (or X, whatever it is now), and other places. But not just from how I had walked away back then. I had apologized to those I had hurt. I want to come back, to reconnect and try to return to what things were like before, but I can't get over this shame, embarrassment and regret I feel.

I don't really know what this whole speech or rant is, tbh. I've just been missing it all a lot lately. The creativity, inspiration, community... my friends I had made.

All of it.

I've said this over and over again for the past two years, but... maybe soon I'll try and come back again. All I've done consistently is some writing on Ao3 (TikTok I did for a good while, but it's been dead for a year now, too). I actually have a Bakugou x Fem!Reader fic going on right now, Senioritis, and for anyone who had been following it forever ago, I finished Ancient Soul.

I've also kinda gotten sucked into a new series with another fluffy-headed grumpy yet wholesome character that's been fighting with Bakugou for my attention.

Iykyk.

But yeah, thanks to anyone who has followed / enjoyed my work even though I haven't been here, and everyone who has stuck around. I miss y'all, and I really want to come back soon, even if it means starting everything over from scratch.

Talk to y'all soon <3.

[proudfreakmetarusonniku]

fuck it proper intro time.

who are you and why should we care?

my names metaru, or Jamie/rea/defo/def/Dionne/tommy/clem/clement any of those is ok, and i use they/it pronouns! i’m a horror author and artist, primarily of fan work. currently i’m super into the dsmp, but i have a shitton of special interests that cycle, which does include the dsmp but also pokemon, sonic, homestuck, undertale, sims, gravity falls, the owl house, and probably more i’m forgetting. follow me if you like deranged horror AUs, fics, and art pieces centring around dysfunctional relationships (usually familial). i am also kin of protegeinnit /srs

do you have any other social media?

i don’t like social media very much but I do have an ao3 account, if that counts. i have a discord but i only use it to talk to my friends on our own private server tbh.

is x post ok to reblog?

yes anything here is okay to reblog.

can i dm you/send you an ask?

yes about anything unless it’s harassing someone who isn’t me. you are all besties to me.

why do you take so long to write/make art sometimes?

i have really bad chronic pain which knocks me out sometime. it sucks as much for me to not be able to create as it does for you to not be able to get creations.

do you have a dni?

no, i’ll just block you. as long as you aren’t a bigot and don’t harass my followers you’ll probably be fine.

can i tag you in things?

i’d love that please do.

do you really have several dozen c!primeboys AUs?

yes. i cannot stop thinking them up, ask me about them sometime.

what’s your opinion on *x discourse topic*?

my opinion is that discourse on tumblr is a toxic unnuanced mess that causes even unambiguously correct sides to be harmful and therefore i’m not getting involved. i used to post so much discourse as a teen and it was fucking stupid and actually put me in danger a few times. in general tho, i generally don’t see a point in giving a shit unless ppl are hurting others and if someone is only hurting others by accident they need to be treated with kindness too.

what the fuck is up with your username?

i’m physically and mentally disabled and think that’s pretty pog hence the proud freak part and metal sonic is my favourite sonic character hence the metaru sonniku part.

also important message that the way i write c!primeboys is based in part off my own family and if anyone is weird about it fuck off thats not only breaking tommy and dreams boundaries but my own.

hi mommy it’s life update time <3

i think i’m coming to the realization that i might be attractive?? which is weird super weird after attending smaller schools with virtually no wlw.

i did finally cave and downloaded the dating apps and i actually found a woman that i really like (she’s literally almost 20 years older than me). but i accidentally found + followed one of her social media accounts so that kinda ruined my chances :/. definitely not the fact that i’m a literal fetus to her. (dating apps aren’t for me tho and i’ll be deleting them after waiting an appropriate time for milf to respond) but the liberal arts organization is going very well!! we just read de beavoir- i loved it & i wrote a really good essay on it :)).

so happy to see you updating again and i hope you’re doing okay <3

-🦮

hi puppy ! <3

love the fact that you're recognising that :) i was the same like 2 years ago and since then i've had a "glow up" if you will, and started becoming my own person with my own style. it was a life changing realisation tbh and i'm happy :)

but damn look at you with a milf on your roster :o i hope she replies back to you soon ! dating apps suck most of the time but i've met some nice people on there and had new experiences so it wasn't all bad. if things don't work out, maybe you'll meet someone at the LAO ? :) aside from that i'm glad things are going really well for you ! i'm proud of you.

also, thank you. i'm glad to be back and in the groove of writing and posting again. i missed it :')

[silversnaffles]

*sigh* guess I have to stop shit posting on here and start posting about horses again now y’all are crawling back (I’m kidding lmao I’m happy people are coming back to tumblr)

I do actually want to post about my life with the horses again im just burnt out by social media, y’know? And it sucks lol I’ll get back on it. I just need to treat tumblr how I used to, and get back into the swing of it.

I currently only really lurk on here to satiate whatever brainrot I have going on as tumblr always has the best fanfiction and art, but it’s time to get back to business baby

For a quick summary: I still have Amera, Tara, Jim, and Sage - Sage is currently on loan on the same yard as the other ponies, I’m unsure whether he’ll be staying under that persons care or not. It depends on them, but tbh I kinda miss having him all to myself lmao brat Hannah coming in strong. In all honesty, I’m not actually sure how dedicated they are to him anymore, which is fine. They also said something drunk to my mum the other week which did upset me though - saying that he’s quirky and “not even Hannah wants him” which really upset me. I only let them have him on loan as I was worried he needed more attention than what I could give him at the time and they seemed to love him as much as I do. Sage is my darling (and he’s not actually quirky but that’s an issue for another time). But hey maybe it’ll work out, I do care about his loaners a lot. They are good friends, I just worry about my horses. But hey, who doesn’t?

I’ll do a proper post on this update soon, but unfortunately I lost Kosha last month. I couldn’t bring myself to post about losing him properly - I just did sort of announcements on ig stories and on my Twitter. It was rough. Unsure of whether it was an benign tumour from his Cushings or potentially acorn poisoning (huge rise in that locally) but he was put to sleep last month. 20 years together 💔

I now live in Norway! Once my residency is officially approved (meeting in Jan - kept getting postponed thanks to covid and I got stuck in the uk for almost 2 years, and I currently pay 50% tax until I get my national ID and don’t have to use a Dnumber anymore yikes), I’ll be putting money to the side to move ponies over here! The plan is to get Jim here first, then Tara. I’m currently only able to have 3 over here, so if Sage stays on loan I’ll bring Amera over, but if I take Sage back then he’ll move over here. Amera will then stay with my mum, and I can cuddle her whenever I go home. Whilst I’d love to have all four here, Im not sure I’ll be able to afford it. Three will be a push. I’ll see how I go financially I’ll talk it through with my boss if I think I can afford it. Otherwise I’d prioritise Sage over Amera purely because my mum gets along with Amera better and honestly I don’t think Amera cares that much about being ridden y’know? I mean no horse really does but she has a genuine lack of interest in it and loves living in a big herd and just getting the regular cuddles and weekly grooming sessions. So we’ll see what happens there. They’ll still get herd turnout here in Norway, it just won’t be grazing all year bc of snow etc, they have like gravel paddocks with smaller herds (they’re currently in a herd of around 16?? Idk I haven’t counted in a while whereas here the biggest herd is a herd of 6) and then grazing for the spring, summer, and autumn.

Anyway that’s all I can think of for now! Hopefully I can get my ass into gear, tidy up ol’ silversnaffles and start posting properly again!!!

hello ! o/ my name is blue or edyn or jazzy!! i am a BIG jrwi fan and am taking (another) shot at social media to connect with more fans of the podcast! :D i am completely new to jrwiblr (and the fandom entirely lol) but am not new to tumblr im a minor, use all pronouns (+ neos), and am a genderqueer lesbian :) i LOVE interacting with people and talking about my interests and making friends :) social anxiety does get the best of me a lot of the time so my apologies !! <3 MORE INFO UNDER THE CUT :D

this is not my first social media rodeo, and i've had some not-fun experiences online in other fandoms haha. SO I may not be active all the time bc of school, theatre rehearsals, etc etc. some basic info now!! : i write fanfiction! used to write for mcyt, but im kinda straying away from that fandom tbh. (note: I WILL NOT POST MCYT OR DSMP CONTENT HERE. i understand many people are uncomfortable with dsmp for valid reasons. i left the dsmp fandom long ago and am only passively in the mcyt fandom. none of that stuff will be on this blog). my fanfic for jrwi will probably be centered around fish n chips or the albatrio my ao3 is beelue and my discord is beelue#5193 :D the main thing you'll see on this blog is JRWI content. but, you may find loz: botw, Minecraft, or platoon stuff here and there. and now... TAGGING SYSTEM! (work in progress lmao)

#some blue thinking - any original posts made by me :)

#oh to be free - me promoting my stuff!! most likely my fanfiction and (maybe) art

#lb or #jrwilb - live blogging tags! will probably vary on which one im using. feel free to block those tags if you don't want spoilers

#bumbling thoughts - just when im spouting fanfic ideas, character analysis, predictions etc etc into the void!!

i will tag fandom tags for lots of reblogs :) for example id tag gillion fanart "#jrwi riptide #jrwi gillion"

#riptide songs - any songs that make me go "ohh this is so [character]-coded"

#the sad hours - pretty self-explanatory lol. just when i need to get something off my chest! feel free to block :)

#fav OR #save - when something is rlly cool and i wanna remember it! usually fan art or resources/advice

#mecore - positivity for sad days. feel free to look at it <3

#writinglb - posting about the fic im writign !! feel free to block if u dont want any spoilers or something :)

and thats the tagging guide!! i probably wont follow this SUPER thoroughly but ill try lol that's about all i wanna say! if we're talking about the podcast, PLS tell me what episode you're on !! i don't wanna spoil anything for any one. i've gotten so much stuff spoiled for me and it sucks lol :) i hope u enjoy this blog and i hope you stick around! have fun :D

All that venting to say it really sucks being a disabled artist who makes money on the internet rn tbh. I can't even make money at the moment for personal reasons but it frustrates me so much because my choices for an art site where I can put everything are:

classic deviantart clone with horrid management and is also 18+ that no one likes because of horrible drama, was literally perfect until hell broke loose

furry art site that is only slightly better than deviantart clone in terms of morals and probably has more professional management and isnt exclusively 18+ but makes me uncomfortable due to how its morals are only slightly better and i hate the layout

modern / eclipse deviantart which is so poorly optimized and lags to hell and back and hurts my eyes to look at. also half of it is broken, uploading to it is physically painful

indie art site that doesnt function at all because its so horribly optimized. also lacks any customization. is one of those "social medias for artists" things which is stupid

other smaller old art site that lacks customization and also has crappy morals

AI art galore, too professional for my tastes

tumblr, where i cant post my adult art

an art site that is app exclusive and also "social media for art"

instagram. you cant tell me tumblr is too difficult to use when instagram exists. i feel like a boomer trying to use it, and they change and remove shit every time i open it i swear. i never see what i want or like.

twitter is . twitter right now

personal website which i have to code and curate by myself. and while that gives me a lot of wiggle room its entirely up to me to separate my adult work from my sfw stuff. which i can do but it requires possibly an entirely separate website that i have to carefully try to make harder to access and i would rather have a company be responsible for this shit and not me, one person trying to get by. it takes a lot of work just to manage the site myself!

Anyways i'm jst really exhausted, and a lot of other life factors rn are making these things really hard for me.

Random thought because I feel like it's easy to talk to you, I feel so disliked in this fandom im honestly ready to just ditch my fan account on ig and just make an account to scroll and like things instead of all the pressure of posting and getting unfollowed for no reason, the only reason why I stay is because of my love of Freddie and queen but this fandom is making it hard 😒

So look, I don’t know you or the kinds of posts you make, but you can’t get caught up in every time your follower count drops on really any account or else you’ll drive yourself nuts. People come and go for a whole bunch of reasons, and that’s always going to happen. There’s only pressure to post if you let there be any; no one is going to punish you if you don’t post as often, nothing tangibly bad is going to happen, it’s just social media. It becomes a whole lot more enjoyable when you remember that you don’t owe anyone content, so you can decide if/when you post. If you feel like you’ll be happier as a fandom lurker, then do it, but it’s not automatically necessary for you to abandon the account you have now. It’s your account, do what you want with it.

You know, I’ve experienced a big dip in likes on my art insta this year. Why? I have no idea. Seriously, the quality of my work hasn’t decreased, and I never post about fandom drama on insta and am pretty sure most of my followers there have never seen my takes on tumblr, so it’s not like people suddenly started disliking me on insta and stopped liking my posts. So, why the notable decline? I don’t know! But I’m going to keep drawing what I want and when I want it, because I’ve spent too long in fandom spaces and know getting caught up in likes and followers to the point of trying to change my posts is a waste of time. It’s such fruitless heartache. Being frustrated is human, that’s fine and I still feel it from time to time, but you have to disengage at a certain point and not let it eat at you.

I’m only here because I love Queen so much, too. It’s why I still draw and make posts, because doing that is enjoyable to me, not because I feel like posting for the fandom. I’ve met very nice people here, and also some people decidedly not very nice lmao. This fandom can suck big dong tbh, but you can happily engage with content about the actual band without getting bogged down in the bullshit.
